Went birding today with my friends, Melissa Penta and
Renee DePrato. We went up the east side of the lake
and ran out of time so did not go down the west side.
We started at Hog Hole southwest Cayuga Lake to chase
after one of my nemesis birds...the eared grebe. Thanks to

I stopped by the lab Thursday or Friday. I saw two large Redpolls( I can't
remember how many Jay saw. One was much paler than the other. Feeding alongside
a Goldfinch they were noticeably larger. Cool!

HI all,
For the second time in a week a female Belted Kingfisher has been cruising the
creek next to my house, where there is open water. Very unusual sighting in
deep winter for up here on the mountain.
ON the downside, my walk up Mt Pleasant Road a short while ago netted precisely
NOTHING!
We just had a brief visit from a mixed flock--a pair of Carolina wrens
(vocalizing fiercely), four juncos, two black-capped chickadees and a
white-breasted nuthatch. The wrens in particular were exploring a vacant
robin's nest up under our porch eaves. All in constant motion. A rare and

Hi all,
I've been working in the skinning lab since last September and most of the
birds we work on (I believe) have been dropped off at the front desk at the Lab
of Ornithology. You can put them in a ziploc bag with the following info on a
piece of paper:

We have found two redpolls dead at our place and we put them in the freezer,
wondering what the protocol is for donating them. If you find out what the
protocol is, please do post to the group. We would be glad to have the sad
find result in useful information.
Thanks so much,
Kim

Hi all,
Although this is not a happy way to acquire such information, if folks are
finding dead or dying redpolls (as often happens late in the winter during
invasion years), all of these specimens would be very valuable additions to the
Cornell collection, and ultimately could help (though gen
We can't lay claim to a flock of 200. More like a private party of 6. One
is pale halfway up the back and noticeably fatter but it also appears to be
puffed up, perhaps like Laura's. I could not see under the rump. The flanks
appeared to have light striping and the face profile did not appear
This morning I encountered, in a smallish tree behind a house at the east
end of Burns Rd., a flock of 22 BLUE JAYS. This general area, for some
reason, has a lot of these jays throughout the year, although groups of this
size appear later in the Spring. There were some "jayyy" calls, no bobbing
As a followup to Kevin's post, the falcon was recovered safe and sound this
morning.

For those who may be interested, yesterday Don and I drove up the lake to
Montezuma to check on the Bald Eagle activity. Both the Mudlock pair and the
Tschache Pool pair were observed mating several times. We were hoping to
observe the others, but did not.
